Surface underway data collected from the LAURENCE M. GOULD vessel in the South Atlantic Ocean, South Pacific Ocean, and Southern Oceans (> 60 degrees South) from 2007-01-02 to 2007-12-20. These data include BAROMETRIC PRESSURE, Partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide - atmosphere, Partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide - water, SALINITY, and SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE. The data were collected by researchers from Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory, and University of Colorado - Boulder.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean carbon dioxide uptake based on partial pressure measurements in water.
- Analyzing air-sea CO2 flux based on fugacity measurements in atmosphere and water.
- Studying sea surface temperature and salinity correlations with carbon dioxide levels.
- Calibrating autonomous carbon dioxide measurement instruments based on field data.
Strengths
- Data covers a specific year-long time range from 2007-01-02 to 2007-12-20.
- Includes multiple key oceanographic variables: barometric pressure, CO2 fugacity in air and water, salinity, and sea surface temperature.
- Data collection is attributed to specific researchers from NOAA, LDEO, and University of Colorado.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the vessel's route in the Southern Oceans.
